Moving to japan?

Question

Hello everyone.

I have a question..

i'm 17 years old. i don't have a job yet because my parents won't let me have one yet..

so i don't have any money saved.

and my dream is to move to japan.. i've loved that country sense i was a child and i've always wanted to go there..

do you think my dream will ever come true?

and how can i talk my parents into letting me have a job?

Answer 1

i really want to go to japan too!but i dont want to live there,i just want to go visit.i think if you want to live in japan,its going to be a bit tough because living expenses are more expensive over there than over here and the living space is pretty small depending on where you live in japan.so if you ever want to live there,you're going to need to seriously work and save your money.you should convince your parents by telling them that you're old enough to have responsibility for the things you buy.tell them that you don't want to come to them for money everytime you buy something and that you want to save up for college and college books.they'll probably understand you better if you explain to them about stuff like college tuition.Good luck!and i do hope that your dream comes true!

Hey, I have the same dream. Going to college and then straight to Japan.

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do to force them to let you have a job. That is until you're 18. Then you have the right to do whatever you want, including move out of there.

You could, however start charging your parents for whatever little "favors" they want you to do. Tell them you charge for favors until you can have a job of your own. That could get them to let you have a job, or help you save up none the less

Other ways you can save money, (although it may seem ghetto) Is to collect all the change possible and don't spend it no matter what. you'd actually be surprised how much you can save up. It really could end up helping you alot.

I hoped I helped you out some =)

Not likely. Going there for a visit, maybe, moving there to live, not a chance. Sorry.

First off, you need a four year degree to qualify for a work visa. And then a solid job offer before you enter the country.

  Japan has a very closed immigration policy and they don't allow anyone to just move there.

I'd be there myself if it was that easy.
